Why would you install "windows 7 and also vista " and then end up trying XP? Do you have an original disk?

From what it looks like, it seems like it's a bad disc. Try a new XP disc and see of that helps. If you do not have one, you can find clean ISO images online if you know where to look. That said, unless you know where to look the risk of a bad disc is high so you may be better off buying a replacment set of media.

If this does not do it, it's something else. Try running Memtest on the system and see if the memory comes up with anything over a 24-hour window. If nothing does, it's the hard drive or DVD drive, or simply caused by a bad SATA cable.
